Signs You Are Experiencing Parental Burnout

The box is meant for babies, but maybe it could work with a little maneuvering.

It doesn’t make you a bad parent if you regret snatching those kids from the Target parking lot and raising them as your own. It just means you need to carve out some more time for self-care.

This is actually not just a sign of parental burnout but a sign that you are unfit to be a parent and never should have had children in the first place.

It used to be instinctual. You still do it now but only after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Hormonal imbalances can lead to you wanting to get busy in changing rooms and airplane bathrooms less and less.

This is pretty clearly betrayal and a sign that your parenting has lost its spark.

And when you finally do remember, you drive real slow to savor those last few moments without them.

Try building a support network of other parents raising bloodthirsty abominations.

You should be the one walking your children to school every morning.

You used to savor the possibility of glimpsing Mr. Odom, but now you’d rather just kick your kid out of the house to catch the bus.

Whoa, you’re hallucinating now.

Honestly, it’s nice that they’re finally doing something together.

You’re supposed to be saying this in your head, not aloud.

This should never happen if you’re parenting at your best.

It’s fun to check in on your favorite celebrity once in a while, but twice a week might be a bit unhealthy.

Actually, this one is normal.

Right when you get thankful for your parents, that’s when you know you’re facing ultimate burnout.

There’s pretty much no avoiding it if it’s been this long.
